## About the role

You’d own a full slice of Standout end-to-end — either the company experience (how hiring managers brief us, see talent, decide) or the talent experience (how the people we represent get found, profiled, and intro’d). UX, UI, and the conversational agent inside it. All of it. From Figma-equivalent to prod.

## What they're looking for

- upload results
- post your results on X and tag @standoutwork ( https://x.com/standoutwork ) in your post
- You ship fast and you ship taste. The product feels right when you build it
- You’ve spent the last year deep in vibe-coding / Cursor / Claude Code / v0 — not as a curiosity, as your actual workflow
- You come from one of: a real product or design background, a great builder who fell into code through AI, or an engineering background where the design instinct is just there
- You care about the small things: empty states, copy, the shape of a button, what the agent says when it has nothing to say
